Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0389206A2] An optical fibre cable joint primarily for a submarine telecommunications system in which limited relative movement of the king wire ends (9, 11) is provided and in which the joint housing at as the main tensile strength member of the joint and as the pressure resisting housing. A special clamp (20, 4) clamps the optical fibre pacakge within the housing and tapered clamps (22, 12, 27) clamp the tensile strength members rather than a hydraulically pressed ferrule joint as in the prior art. A partcularly advantageous fibre storage arrangement is provided by plates (1, 5).
